Florida Abuse Hotline

Workload Trends

Reporting Method Trends The Florida Abuse Hotline offers a variety of methods for citizens to report concerns about children and vulnerable

adults. Consistent with seasonal trends, total contacts demonstrated a sharp increase, from 42,388 in December to

46,857 in January.

Seasonality of Hotline Workload There were 46,857 total contacts offered for the month of January. “Contacts Offered” include those

abandoned by a caller who called back, so both attempts and completed calls from the same individual may be counted.

Screening Trends

Alleged Maltreatment Screening Consistent with the increase in total contacts, an increase in the number of child maltreatment allegations screened-in

was observed from December 2016 to January 2017, 17,883 to 19,432 respectively. The percentage of screened-in

reports remained stable from December 2016 (79.5%) to January (79.5%) 2017. Consistent with the past 3 years, the

number of alleged child maltreatment screened-out has remained stable.

Special Conditions Screening The percentage of special conditions screened-in remained stable from December 2016 to January 2017, from 78.9% to

78.8% respectively.

U M

U M


Timeliness Trends

Average and Maximum Times to Answer or Abandon The average wait time before answer increased slightly from December 2016 (2 minutes 32 seconds) to January 2017 (3

minutes 26 seconds). This is not unexpected given the increase in total contacts during the month of January.

Percent of Calls Abandoned The percent of calls to the Florida Abuse Hotline that are abandoned before answer increased from 11.1% to 13.2% from

December 2016 to January 2017. The percent of Spanish Language Line abandoned calls increased to 23.3%.

Child Protective Investigators

Workload Trends

Investigative Workload: Incoming, Active, and Backlog Investigations There was an observed increase in the number of incoming investigations from December 2016 to January 2017. Active

investigations as of the last day of the month were at 24,221. Backlog continued to trend downward with 854

investigations active for over 60 days.

Investigative Workload: Stratified by Region As of January 31, 2017, 5 of 6 regions have an investigation backlog of 5.0% or less. The Northwest region made

considerable improvement, reducing investigation backlog from 9.1% in December 2016 to 4.7% in January 2017.

Maltreatment Investigations and Special Conditions Referrals Although there are over 10 times as many alleged maltreatment reports as special conditions referrals, the increasing

trend for special conditions is substantially higher than the trend for alleged maltreatment.

Special Conditions: Stratified by Type and by County The increasing trend observed in special conditions is largely due to the increase in child-on-child referrals. All other

special condition types have remained fairly flat.

Unsafe Children and Safe Children by Placement Service Type upon Investigation Closure These Tableau visualizations reflect investigations closed between December 25, 2016 and February 23, 2017.

• The visualization on the left indicates that some children have been determined “unsafe,” yet have no placement

services (red). A root cause analysis determined that these cases were primarily a result of data entry lag time.

• The visualization on the right indicates that some children have been determined “safe,” yet were placed in out-of-

home care (violet) or received case-managed in-home services (dark blue).

These anomalies are receiving follow-up to determine cause.

Unsafe Children Receiving No Placement Services or Family Support Services

Upon Investigative Closure and No Placement Services After Investigation Closure The following chart provides a trend view of the number of children who have been deemed unsafe, by month of

investigation closure, who are receiving Family Support Services or no placement services as opposed to ongoing, case-

managed services. Once again, it was determined that those “unsafe” children receiving no placement services or Family

Support Services upon investigation closure is a result of data entry lag time. Data falling under the gray area (the most

recent two months) is considered draft data. Each month’s data is finalized on the third pull, allowing for a grace period

of around 75 days for data entry. The No Subsequent Services Provided After Investigation Closure line is a drill down on

the children not receiving services upon investigative closure. In January 2017, although 172 children were not receiving

placement services upon investigation closure, 54 of them received placement services after investigation closure.

Statewide: Recurrence of Maltreatment After Verified Findings Recurrence within 12 months has consistently been within a percentage point since October 2013 and is currently at

9.3%.

Stratification by DCF Circuit and Sheriff’s Office There is wide variation among the circuits and sheriff’s offices on this indicator. However, it should be noted variation in

rates is influenced by both reporting and verification rates.

Statewide Trends in Case-Managed Services There were 23,814 children in out-of-home (OHC) care on January 31, 2017, consistent with the upward trend in OHC

observed since the middle of 2013. The trend for children receiving in-home services has remained relatively flat for

three years, with 12,203 children receiving in-home services on January 31, 2017.

Florida CQI and CFSR The following table has been added providing statewide and lead agency outcome ratings from FLCQI and CFSR data

around Safety, Permanency, and Well-being.

Safety Indicators

Child Safety Trends: Comparison of Three Indicators Children continue to be safer while receiving services than after termination of services:

• The percent of children with no verified maltreatment during case-managed in-home services has been steady

at around 97% for years and was 96.9% in July-September 2016.

• The percent of children with no verified maltreatment within six months after termination of case-managed

services was 94.9% for July to September 2016.

• The percent of children with no verified maltreatment within six months of termination of Family Support

Services was at 95% for those closing in January to March 2015.

Q

New Q


Child Safety During Case-Managed In-Home Services Statewide performance for July to September was 96.9%.

Child Safety in Out-of-Home Care This measure is generated by taking the total number of reports with at least one verified maltreatment and dividing it

by the total number of days in foster care for all children, with the result multiplied by 100,000 to calculate the rate of

victimization per 100,000 days in foster care. The data for this quarter shows wide variation among the CBCs, with

statewide performance not meeting the national standard of 8.50 or less.

Q

Q


Child Safety After Termination of Case-Managed Services Statewide performance for services terminated in January to March 2016 was 94.1%.

Child Safety After Termination of Family Support Services Statewide performance for services terminated in January through March 2016 was 95.0%.

Q

Q


Permanency Indicators

Statewide Trend: Permanency Within 12 Months of Removal Permanency within 12 Months of Removal is our primary indicator of timely permanency. Statewide performance is at a

current level of 42.9%, demonstrating a slight upward trend for the past three quarters.

Stratification by CBC Lead Agency Twelve of the lead agencies exceed the national standard of 40.5%.

Q

Q


Long-Term Statewide Trends on Three Permanency Indicators The following chart shows the long-term changes in the relationship between three indicators of timely permanency

performance. Florida continues to exceed national standards on all three indicators. However, permanency within 12

months for both entry cohorts and in-care 12-23 month cohorts declined in the last two years, while permanency within

12 months for children in care 24+ months cohorts improved in the last few years.

Permanency Within 12 Months for Children in Care 12-23 Months

Stratification by CBC Lead Agency Statewide performance continues to exceed the national average with 19 of 20 CBCs achieving standard.

Q

Q


Permanency Within 12 Months for Children in Care 24+ Months

Stratification by CBC Lead Agency Statewide performance of 40.8% is high with all but one area meeting the 30.3% national standard.

Statewide Trend: Re-Entry into OHC Within 12 Months of Achieving Permanency Statewide performance for the most recent available quarter (entries two years ago) declined for the October-

December quarter. However, performance has remained below the national standard of 91.7% for entries since 2012.

This new federal measure presents an incomplete picture of re-entry, selecting only children removed two years ago

who achieved permanency within 12 months and did not return to out-of-home care within 12 months of achieving

permanency.

Q

Q


Stratification by CBC Lead Agency 16 of 20 CBCs need improvement on this indicator in order to meet the national standard of 91.7%.

Timeliness of Judicial Handling These Children’s Legal Services indicators are directly related to the indicators of timely permanency.

Reunification Goal After 15 Months and No Termination of Parental Rights Activity The statewide average was 8.2% on January 31, 2017. Circuit goals are set for each period after review of baseline

information.

Maintaining Connections in Placement

Statewide Trend: Placement Stability Statewide performance has been slightly better than the national standard of 4.12 moves per 1,000 days in

foster care over the last few years, until increasing to 4.38 moves per 1,000 days in the last four quarters.

Stratification by CBC Lead Agency Statewide performance, currently at 4.38 moves per 1,000 days in foster care, does not meet the national standard of

4.12 moves. There is wide variation among the lead agencies, with most meeting the standard.

Q

Q


Statewide Trend: Placement of Siblings Group Together Statewide performance has declined slightly over the last few years from around 66% to around 64%.

Proximity of Placement to Maintain Connections

Children Placed Outside Removal County 36.2% of children are currently placed outside of their removal county, but there is wide variation across CBCs.

Children Placed Outside the Removal Circuit The 19.0% currently placed outside of their removal circuit is lower than for the out-of-county indicator, as many

children that are not placed in their home county are placed within their home circuit.

Placement in Family Settings

Trends in Group Care by Age Report The number of children aged 6-12 in group care has increased sharply since 2014. There was an observed increase in

group care for September in both the 6-12 and 13-17 age groups.

Children in Group Care by Age Group: Ages 0-5 Thirteen lead agencies had 1.0% or less of these very young children placed in group care on December 31.

Children with Consent for Prescribed Psychotropic Medications In order to administer psychotropic medication to a foster child, parental consent or a court order must be obtained,

unless the child is receiving inpatient services or a physician certifies that delay would be likely to harm the child. The

statewide percentage of children with at least one prescribed psychotropic medication on February was 98.3%. This

chart provides the number with no consent and percentage with consent.

Dental Services

Children Receiving Dental Services in Last Seven Months Considerable progress has been made in the last few years with medical and dental services, with the statewide percent

of children receiving recent dental services at 91.3% as of December 31st.

Q

Education Program Enrollment

Young Adults Aging Out Enrolled in Education Programs For children who don’t achieve permanency prior to reaching adulthood, it is crucial that they are prepared for life after

foster care by the time they “age out” of care. This is one indicator of that preparation for adulthood, but does not

control for any of the many variables that influence this preparation, including time in care and the child’s educational

level when entering care.

Dually Served Youth

Statewide Trend: Youths Served by CBC Lead Agencies and Juvenile Justice The number of youths served by both the child welfare system and the juvenile justice system in January of 2017

decreased to 840, surpassing the 799 youth in January of 2016.

Q

Stratification by CBC Lead Agency The number of youths served by both systems is variable among the lead agencies, but is related to the total

number of youths served by each lead agency.

Child Reports Entered into FSFN There is wide variance in the total number of missing child reports that were entered within FSFN and the percentage of

missing child reports entered into FSFN within one working day of a CBC learning that a child was missing across the

CBCs. On average, of the 712missing child reports that were attached to 655 children 92.0% were entered into FSFN

within one day of a CBC learning that a child was missing.

Resolution of reports within 3 days The majority of missing child episodes are generally resolved quickly. Of the 712 missing child report that were entered

into FSFN in January, 73.6% were resolved within three days of a child’s last contact date.

Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking Intakes Trend The trend in monthly number of Human Trafficking Reports (Initial and Additional) accepted by the Hotline continued to

increase, while the trend in percent with no indicators continued the long-term gradual decline.

Children with Indication of Human Trafficking by CBC Lead Agency The number of children in out-of-home care or receiving in-home services with at least one FSFN indicator of being a

victim of Human Trafficking remains concentrated within Florida’s most urban centers, primarily in the Gold Coast and

Tampa Bay areas.
